[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2062207, member: 116181"] Third for the Partition. I keep a box for every caliber I load handy because you can always throw together a hunting load if you have those around. They're not the most accurate, I don't throw them the fastest or the furthest, but they've worked on animals every time. I've never recovered one because they've all been straight through. I hit a buck straight on, rib on the way in, rib on the way out, pulped his lungs. Calc says 2400fps impact velocity from a 140gr 6.5mm Partition. You're probably looking at 200fps slower than Nosler's book that used a 24" test barrel, so with a 150gr you'll probably be in a similar 2600-2800fps range out of the front to the 6.5 I was shooting. If you're worried about being too fast, shoot the 180. To slow, shoot the 150. Then there's a 165 for right in the middle. 150 and 180s can be backordered on Midway currently.
